Is anyone else stumped when they have to choose their eye color for an official document like their REAL ID/Drivers License?
Last time I chose Hazel, but I really don’t think that was right.
The Massachusetts choices are: Black, Brown, Gray, Hazel, Pink, Blue, Dichromatic, Green, Maroon, and Unknown.
Maybe Gray is the closest?
Or basic Blue?
But definitely not Hazel, right? I think I messed up picking Hazel.
It’s not a big deal, but I think this may be the type of thing that concerns me more now that I feel like our country is descending into authoritarianism. In movies, Nazis are always asking people for their papers, Are my papers in order?

Excerpt: Belarus is a warning that democracy is fragile and that authoritarianism is not a wrecking ball but a hatchet, which slowly chips away until everything is broken beyond recognition.

My brown eyes do not lead to any confusion. 😉
Sobering but apt description about authoritarianism as it is happening in this country.

And now….with the latest SCOTUS decision and UVA President resignation, it feels even more ominous.

My initial thought was grey, but the close up made me change to green!

Thanks for weighing in! I have answered green in past years. I actually asked AI, and it said blue-grey with green undertones. But that doesn’t really help with my license dilemma, lol

Lol. I do like AI’s description but it might be difficult finding that box to check!
